TF2 - DirectX 8 vs DirectX 9 in koth_suijin
Here's a quick video to compare and contrast the two most popular DirectX settings in TF2. If you can tell, there isn't that much difference in quality when looking at environmental objects (trees, rocks, buildings, etc...). Just a few lighting and color differences where in DX9 looks prettier (subjective). But it's a completely different story when it comes to particle effects such as unusual effects, Übercharge effects and more.
P.S. The resolution for both dxlevels was set to 1920x1080. Any blurry or grainy images are most likely the screen recorder's fault.
DIRECTX SETTINGS
"-dxlevel 81" in launch options for DirectX8 (increases FPS)
"-dxlevel 90" in launch options for DirectX9
